“We dare anybody to step to us and say they’re better than us”
If you’re wondering what happened with the group BRUTHA after the season finale of their BET reality show Brothers to Brutha, here’s a quick update: In late December, they released their self-titled debut album (check the review here), which effectively flopped in sales (less than 100K) as well as quality. The problem I have is that these guys can REALLY TRULY SING, but listening to their album, you wouldn’t know they had a shred of genuine talent (same problem as Jeremih’s debut).
In this BET On Blast video, Brutha addresses the issues with their first album, acknowledges it’s shortcomings and vows to make amends with their sophomore album, entitled Vacancy, which they claim has “new heat” and is “themed for the ladies”. They also make some pretty big claims against the other (albeit few) R&B groups out there, saying that they’re the best: “We dare anybody to step to us and say they’re better than us.” Really now? After one flopped album and a failed TV show? Their latest Youtube video shows the guys in true form, covering Boyz II Men’s arrangement of the New Edition classic Can You Stand The Rain. If they expect the next album to sell, this is the formula they should follow. This is an awesome cover…
Yea you are right they should be all over the world doing what they do best.You guys are very good at what you do and i hope you get even more to the top and you all will always have my vote… never let no one knock you off your grind.. you all came to far to let your dream come and walk away. you all are very hard workers… family first if anything…. and i wish that my family could be together threw the hard times and the good time.. thats one thing that i like about you all the most… just be there for each other…more than a FAN but not a FAN p.s one love
I hope we all can meet one day one this earth
(Friends)
I’m a fan and i’m seriously hopeful the sophomore effort will capture a wider audience but more importantly truly reveal what is obviously the god given talent these guys have. With their television show you were able to clearly see these guys have depth, range and the ability to endure the challenges that are placed in front of them. That said I really didn’t care for the Boyz to Men cover simply because they are better than that. Not taking anything away from Boyz to Men but Brutha has something to offer the world and its not a cover but an original song that will launch their career into the stratosphere. That gift is within them and my guess is it will be written by them and for them and for the world. Maybe its just me but thats what I hear when they sing. Good luck fellas, Were listening…
OMG these guys are far too talented not to see great success that has eluded them thus far. Maybe a new line up of producers, material, SOMETHING…I keep my fingers crossed for the next album.
